Travel chain filed for special use permit in Rockingham County

Buc-ee’s appears to be planning its second Virginia location, this time along Interstate 81 in Rockingham County near Mt. Crawford.
According to a post on the county’s Facebook page, Buc-ee’s, the Texas-sized travel center chain, has applied for a special use permit for review and approval of a proposed sign plan. The Texas-based retailer is planning a 74,000-square-foot store with 120 fueling positions and 24 electric vehicle charging stations, with a projected opening in 2025.
New Kent County’s economic development department revealed Buc-ee’s plans for a center along I-64 when it posted to its Facebook page in march that the chain filed for a conditional use permit for signage. Buc-ee’s New Kent LLC purchased 27.686 acres located at Exit 211 off Interstate 64 from Kent Farms Holdings Company, LLC for $6.5 million. Completion of that sale was announced in June. Once complete, it could be among the company’s largest locations.
The Buc-ee’s chain has opened more than 25 locations throughout the South in the past two decades. The Rockingham and New Kent locations are among four the company says it has planned in the state.
